She got it. Things are so far behind that it isn't going to cover anywhere near what she thought it would, but we will be good to go if the plumbing is an inexpensive fix. And she is going to let me get a cordless weed whacker so I can do the lawn myself. Or teach one of the girls how. Or even get one of my backup guys to come over and use it. I HAVE to see my neurologist to, hopefully, get that letter from him for SSD, which is going to be a couple hundred dollars. Putting off the internist, though. The county hospital system has an extension clinic just a couple of miles from my house. Going to apply there for the regular 'stuff' monitoring. My sister got her car payments caught up, so repossession is off the table for the moment, and she is very relieved.
Yeah, I guess all in all, things are looking up.
I am happy so far with all the plants that are blooming. Love this time of year AND the temps have been mild for us, too. Big change from the last two years.
